Varis X PRO or Invictus X PRO — why choose at all

TL;DR: Both models feature the same German latex Contact PRO 4 mm. The difference is the glove's shape. Choose Varis X PRO (Negative cut) if you like dynamism, lightness, and direct ball feel. Choose Invictus X PRO (Roll Finger+ cut) if you value stability, a fuller hand fit, and confidence in your exits.

Two cuts, one latex — what that really means

Both models are in the series X PRO — premium match-grade. Both use German latex Contact PRO 4 mm, one of the top on the market. Both have a double elastic bandage. The grip class is the same.

The difference is in how to fit the glove to your hand:

Varis X PRO — cut Negative. The foam adheres closely to the hand, the glove fits tighter, you have a more direct feel for the ball on first contact.
Invictus X PRO — cut Roll Finger+. The foam extends beyond the palm, providing a larger contact surface, the glove offers more space, giving a fuller fit.

When Varis X PRO wins

You play dynamically, reflexes matter
Low balls, on the ground — you need to feel the ball with your fingers, not just catch it with your whole hand
You prefer lighter, fitted gloves
Your playing style is reacting and intervening — you need precision in hand work
Backhand Fit Skin 3D + zone Punch+ supports punching

When Invictus X PRO excels

Coming out for crosses, high balls — you want maximum contact surface
You catch with your whole hands, you prefer to feel the ball 'throughout the glove'
You prefer a firmer hand fit, confidence
Backhand Beta & Latex + silicone punching zones — more support
You play in difficult conditions (wet grass, high crosses) — stabilisation helps
